Every job should have a public posting period and all qualified candidates should have to be interviewed, no exceptions. Idk why only public sector work has remotely sane hiring policies.

All hiring should be done through a universal, government run job system. No custom resumes or cover letters, just a single form that you fill out your information and history. All jobs are posted on that system, including information like salaries and benefits, and that needs to be the only way to apply.
Customizing things per job can be pretty useful though. Since recruiters normally spend very little time glancing at each application.
Tbqh I care much more about the people applying than the people reading the applications. But also wouldn’t having every application be in the same format be helpful? You know which sections you need to be looking at for each applicant, and can ignore the parts not relevant instead of having to scan a whole resume.
Having the same format could be useful.
I wasn't saying customizing is useful for the one reading the application. In any situation someone who has to read them will do so quickly, so just for the sake of the applicant it makes sense to have the relevant info for that position up top
